The Last Kids on Earth and the Zombie Parade

Max Brallier; Illustrated by Douglas Holgate

A very funny post-apocalyptic graphic novel, now a New York Times bestseller!

"Terrifyingly fun! Delivers big thrills and even bigger laughs."--Jeff Kinney, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Diary of a Wimpy Kid

The zombies are disappearing. This might seem like a good thing, since zombies eat your brains, but normal human kid Jack Sullivan is suspicious. He keeps hearing an eerie shrieking noise that seems to be almost summoning the zombies—but to where, and for what (probably) foul purpose?

Jack, his three best friends (maybe the only people left on Earth), and their pet monster Rover need to get to the bottom of this. Along the way they encounter a lot more than they bargained for, including a giant Wormungulous, a pizza parlor monster hangout, an ancient evil who destroys worlds, and a stereo system that is totally the bomb. Can Jack figure out why the zombies are vanishing . . . before he and his friends are next?

Excerpt from The Last Kids on Earth and the Zombie Parade

This is my moment.

The moment of Jack Sullivan, Post-Apocalyptic Action Hero.

The Wormungulous will be upon us in seconds. Its massive form is barreling forward, turning everything in its path to dust. And I can’t let my friends fall into the category of “dust.” That’s my biggest fear. That’s what keeps me up at night (well, that and thoughts of Selena Gomez—I hope she’s safe somewhere!).

I step toward the beast like some sort of samurai ninja Jedi.

“Jack, what are you doing?” June screams.

“June, Dirk, Quint. Get back,” I say. “Behind me.”

“I’ll try to open the gate into Sears,” Dirk says. “If you can slow it down, maybe we won’t all die today.”
